Description

Edition of 175. Digitally produced chromogenic c-type print on Fujiflex Crystal Archive Supergloss paper with a border. 51 x 61 cm (20 x 24 in). Signed, numbered and dated by the artist on the reverse. On the occasion of his major retrospective at the MFA in Boston, Counter Editions is releasing four new prints by the inimitable photographer Mario Testino. Instantly recognisable for the casual elegance and visual opulence of his images, Testino's photographs reveal alluring glimpses of his high-fashion world and simultaneously mythologize it. Amidst a fantastic backdrop of heroic marble sculptures, actress Sienna Miller pauses and looks over her shoulder as if lost in an unfamiliar world. Wearing a stunning feathered black and white ballgown, the parallel between Miller's classic beauty and that of the idealized sculptures is clear. Dramatic and otherworldly, Sienna Miller, Rome, 2007 is a classic image of Testino's fantasy world. (Available at pre-publication price of £950).
